Great advice CW - it is the elephant in the room, a really big one.

I really do want to be her friend, where we both feel comfortable with each other. My problem, get ready for it, is that I have no PATIENCE \:\) Of course, I think if I bat my baby blues at her, she will magically want to be friends again - I am more realistic than that though. Getting along is essential and this weekend will be a test with my parents in town.

You would think I could find better questions to ask, I basically talk for a living and present infront of large audiences... I need to find that art of conversation back in my home! I guess a visit to the bookstore again.

The hard part for me always is when I travel, I would love to call every day, but know that is pursuing, I would love it if she called me, but that isn't going to happen. I would like to talk to her about that, my next trip isn't for a couple of weeks nad will be a long trip - probably a week.

An interesting twist I forgot to say, W is reading the 5 Languages of Love book I gave her at the very beginning. I am not going to read anything into it, but thought that was a positive sign - but of course, as I always do, then I think, well, maybe she is reading about it for OM! Stop that...

I am also going to get the book Not Just Friends that many have recommended. I also have a few mystery novels - trying to keep mind occupied!
